VETERANS GATHERING. Thousand, of Them Attending the National Encampment. Buffalo, Aug. 28.—Buffalo is all ready for the army of veterans who are on their way here to attend the 31st annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Veterans and their friends are coming in by thousands. It is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 came In yesterday and they are pouring in today. Among the announcements of candidates to succeed Commander-in-chief Clarkson are the names of John O. Lineban, New Hampshire; George H. lunis, Massachusetts; James A. Sexton, Chicago and J. P. S. Gobin, Pennsylvania. The race for the national presidency of the Womens’ Relief corps is exciting muon interest. Mrs. Martin of Missouri seems to be the choice of the greater portion of the delegates who have arrived. Illinois has again put forth Mrs. Thomas J. Miller, but as this lady has held the position for several years, it is felt that some other should succeed her now. Mrs. Helen M. Griffiths of lowa, is also a candidate. A beautiful jewelled badge is to be presented to Mr. Clarkson daring the encampment. It is the gift of the six hundred members of the commander’s staff. President McKinley will make the presentation address. ARMY OF POTOMAC REUNION. President McKinley Elected Honorary President of the Ninth Corps. Troy, N. Y., Aug. 21.—The only active part that the president took in the proceedings of the Army of the Potomac yesterday was in a visit to the Ninth corps, of which he is a member. The corps gave him an ovation and finally elected him honorary president. The president in a few words accepted the honor, signed his name to the register and left the room with the corps badge upon his breast. He stated that he was a sergeant in the Twenty-third Ohio regiment of the Ninth corps, under command of Rutherford B. Hayes. In the evening the president attended the public meeting of the Army of the Potomac in Music hall. The place was jammed to suffocation, and the president received a great ovation. EXTENDS ITS LINES.

STRANGE BUTTHUE. At a tire recently it was discovered that the tire company was handicapped, although the noble men worked hard and the chief vigorously commanded through his trumpet to "throw water here” and "there”—"more water.” "open all the valves.” "Give us full force.” etc. Yet the stream was small, the force was too weak to reach the desired height and a general failure was the prospect. "Examine the line” sounded the trumpeter and two of Ins stalwart men proceeded to examine the line. The nozzles weie all right and the hose for a tune was unencumbered but soon they came to a twist and a partial kink wnieh was soon straightened but still the steam was feeble, and on they went until they came to a place where an iron pipe had rolled upon the hose and was resting upon it collapsing its walls and thus diminishing its calibre; allowtngonly a portion of the water to pass They removed the obstruction and took all the kinks out and staightened the mpes; the water began to flow in its normal quantity and soon the die com pan v gained the victory and controlled the fire and saved the unburned portion of the property to the great delight of the property owners and spec tators.

Thus it is in Orthopedic Surgery. We see the dire deformities, the shrunken and cold limbs, parts that are not nourished or some that have been nourished ana developed but have lost all motion and sensation and are utterly failing in their duties in the life and work of the human body We see the defect, we call for more of the life fluid to save the pait“, we examine and find the engine working properly, the steam and the life fluids are there in proper amounts but the distribution is interfered with and we must examine "along the line.” We find a crooek limb and we straighten it. stooped shoulders interfering with proper respiration, an unnatural curva lure in the spinal column, taking place perhaps gradually; we bear the patient's complaints of rheumatism of the back and being so nervous, weak, restless and perhaps irritable, etc., etc. We go further along the line and we find mus eular relaxation, especially of the ahdo minal region, allowing the abdominal viscera to settle down, crowding all or gans of the pelvsc region out of tbeii normal position and interfering with their functions and we find constipation. diseases of the bladder, rectum and all forms of female weakness and diseases, varicocles, varicose vains of the limbs, defective circulation, weakness, pains, swelling of legs and feet, etc., etc., all due to some obstruction to the circulation of the bioodor proper nerve supply. On account of this general displace ment (which has come on so gradually that it has not been noticed) the liver, kidneys, spleen, intestines and even the stomach can not do proper duty The descent as gone so far as to with draw their proper support from the diaphragm which in turn s ttles away from its proper supporting the heart and so have a general pulling down of stomach, liver, heart, lungs, chest; the whole- body is bent forward and indl gestion, palpitations of tries heart, imperfect respiration, biliousness, constipation, kidney and bladder diseases, diseases of be rectum, piles, ruptures, etc., etc., are the natural results. What can we do? Shall we take medicines, baths, wear pessaries, elasic stockings, suspensories, etc , take stimulants, have diseased parts cauterized or removed by the surgeon’s knife? I answer, yes. If that is the best you know how to do. Any way to hurry out of your misery. But would it not be better to “look along the line,” straighten the pipes, take out the kin! s, take off the weights and remove all the obstructions to a free and natural flow of the vital fluids and let the system “right up? ’ Restore each part to its normal position and condition so that it may do its proper work and thus restore harmony in the whole body and permit health, happiness and longevity to be the result. Do you want your ruptures cured, your spines straightened and cured of their diseases? Your paralysis cured? Your constant distress and long list of female troubles relieved? If so use rational means Remember medicines will not correct dislocations nor the amputation of organs put them to their proper work. But properly remove the cause and nature will do the balance, if not then invoke the aid of medicines and the surgeon s knife. Assist, not oppose, Dame Nature. Do you say you don't know what is the trouble and therefore bow to remove it? You meet Dr. Casebeer, from the Ft. Wayne Branch of the Banning Institute. at the Burt House on Tuesday. August 31. Ask him to “look along the line” and tell him where the obstructions are and then how they can be removed? He will take pleasure in explaining these things to you and thus you may learn some of the benefits secured by the Banning system of supports and how it is that the Binning institute cures when others fail. As Dr. Casebeer’s time and presence will hereafter be required at the Institute he cannot visit Decatur in the future as in the past. He will therefore make all examinations and consultations free at his next visit, the last day of August.

LA GRISETTE. Ah, Clement?*, when 1 saw thee last Trip down the Rue de Seine, And, turning, when thy form had parsed, I said, “We meet again,” [ dreamed n >t in that idle glance Thy li test image came And only left to memory’s trance A shadow and a name. The few strange words my lips had taught Thy timid voice to speak, Their gentler signs, which often brought Fresh roses to thy cheek, The trailing of thy long, loose hair, Bent o’er my couch of pain, All, all returned, more sweet, more fair. Oh, had we met again! I walked where saint and virgin keep The vigil lights of heaven. I knew that thou hadst woes to weep And sins to be forgiven. I watched where Genevieve was laid, I knelt by Mary’s shrine. Beside me low, soft voices prayed. Alas, but where was thine? And when the morning sun was bright. When wind and wave were calm And flamed in thousand tinted light The rose of Notre Dame, I wandered through the haunts of men From boulevard to quay Till frowning o’er St. Etienne The Pantheon’s shadow lay. In vain, in vain I We meet no more Nor dream what fates befall, And long upon the stranger's shore My voice on thee may call, When years have clothed the line in moes That tells thy name and days, And withered, on thy simple cross, The wreaths of Pere-la-Chaise! —Oliver Wendell Holmes.

A COWBOY VIRTUOSO. The persistence of Mr. Rime Jenks at length received its due reward —he was asked to fiddle for a dance. You may remember that this gentleman, who was second to none when it came to close quarters in the branding pen, or following a wild calf through the sagebrush, had not one ounce of musical capacity in the hundred and sixty odd pounds of his make up, yet had a particular ambition and an unflagging zeal to become a fiddler. The object of this writing is to show that he received ample returns upon the zeal invested, but never attained to the ambition. For so many years that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary he had packed a violin in his bed roll on the annual round up, and at every opportunity, when the day’s work was done, he rosined his bow. Throughout the winter months, when work was light and evenings long, he had practiced faithfully, if not intelligently, in the bunkhouse until banished by a plebiscite to a nearby dugout, where he found sacks of onions and bins of potatoes more patient sufferers than the general sitting room afforded. In some former year the outfit had boasted a man who could “play any instrument, ” and Jenks, seeing how easy it was, decided to become equally accomplished. The violin was not bis first choice, but his first opportunity, and, having accepted it, his code of ethics bound him to break the critter or break the cinch. On the 29th of February there was a leap year dance at Richmond’s. This place was on a hill in the borderland between the open range and the settlements and, however much cowboys might despise farmers and farmers detest cowboys, the social amenities were rarely disturbed and the country dance was a popular institution. My friend Rice voiced the general sentiment thus, “I like ’em because everybody is a-le’p-ing and a-skipping, and if anybody falls down he gits up again.” The plain inference from Mr. Rice’s statement is that at any other than a country dance if one falls down he stays down—which might embarrass and endanger his betters. When I called Rice's attention to this, he explained that he meant ‘ ‘in your mind.” “It’s like getting on to a bucking horse any morning after breakfast and being dumped, ” said he. “You don't mind it much, but just tighten your cinch another hole and climb on again. But suppose you are doing some fancy riding or roping at the county fair and your saddle gets emptied, why, you feel so low down you don’t get over it for a week. ” Our boys all went over to the dance at Richmond’s, and some one evidently told the committee that Mr. Jenks was a competent fiddler, for soon after his arrival he was approached by a bright eyed young woman, who asked if he had brought his violin. “No, I did not,” replied the startled Jenks, nervously fingering a large piece of rosin which he produced from a pocket, “but if you want to use it I’ll be very glad to go back to the ranch and fetch it. It is only about 20 miles.” “I was told,” said the girl, just slightly showing several white teeth, “that you carry your violin with you wherever you go, and I’m sorry to find that it’s not true. Our music has disappointed us. The house is full of people and nobody here to play for them but a ’cello and a mouth organ. But I think we can get a violin within less than 20 miles, and”—here she showed him the full set—“will you kindly play for us until Mr. Smith arrives?” “Miss, I should be delighted,” said Jenks. “Oh, thank you, so much!” interposed the girl. “If I knew how,” he continued, “but I don’t. You see I’m only learning. I can just start a few. ” “Oh, I am sure you will do it well,” she replied, “and I will go right out and send for an instrument.” And she hurried away. Mr. Jenks was astonished and perplexed. Os course he had hoped to play in public at some time, but this was so sudden. He was not in a hurry. Some other leap year would be soon enough. Should he bolt or face his own music? “What a very pretty girl when she laughs,” thought he. “I’ll stay. Wish I had practiced more. Wonder if I’ll break up the party. ” In what seemed to him an incredibly short time in which to summon a fiddle from the subjacent valley the girl reappeared with one in her hand and escorted the reluctant and protesting

Jenks to the head of the room, introducing him to tho ’cello, the mouth organ and the floor manager. “Now, boys,” said he, when the committee had turned away, leaving him with his fellow musicians, who regarded him doubtfully, “let’s have an understanding. I ain’t in this like you, for a dollar a head and free drinks, but I’m doing it to oblige a lady. I expect to make some pretty bad breaks, and the first one of you that snickers will eat his instrument right here. Are yon ready?” Jenks is not afraid of any individual man, perhaps not very much afraid of any woman, but when he stood up on that platform with the fiddle in bis neck and faced the crowd he was badly rattled. “Play a waltz first,” said the floor manager, “and play slowly.” With a sigh of relief and the thought “What’ll Ido when they demand fast music?” Mr. Jenks began that classical strain which fits the words “Where, oh, where is my little dog gone?” the 'cello and month organ struck in, the girls chose the best waltzers, the floor filled up, feet shuffled, boards creaked, and the ball was opened. Accomplished speakers have recorded the difficulty experienced in learning to think upon their feet, but Jenks, facing an audience for the first time and sawing away desperately at the first bars and repeat of a slow waltz, had no such trouble. He told me afterward that his thoughts “thunk themselves and came a-running, ” and that he was conscious of three distinct trains of thought running on parallel tracks, The first concerned Mr. Smith, the delinquent musician; the second subject was “what a very pretty girl when she laughs,” and the third, accented to waltz time, ran: “Oh, I never can play them that second strain. I know I’ll break down if I try.” To anticipate difficulty is to insure it. After repeating the first strain some 20 times Jenks made a desperate effort to strike the second movement, failed and collapsed. The ’cello and mouth organ hammered along uncertainly for a time and ceased. The stranded waltzers dotted the floor like boats becalmed on a miniature lake. The waltzers had been so engrossed in their own efforts, and the rest of us in looking on, that the quality of the music had apparently received little attention. When the player broke down, there was only a general movement of impatience at the interruption, and I looked to see the persistent Jenks start up again on the same eight measures. But he had entirely recovered his self possession. Laying the fiddle aside, he advanced to meet the girl at whose request he had made the effort. “Don’t you think.” he asked, “that I have proved that I cannot play?” “Well, it does come pretty close to a demonstration,” she answered, “but I thank you very much for helping us out. Mr. Smith has come and will relieve you. ” So Mr. Smith took the fiddle and Jenks took the girl’s hand for the first dance, and perhaps for others, and the evening was a success. Many hours afterward, as we rode sleepily homeward in the gray light of morning, Jenks said to me, “What a very pretty girl when she laughs.” “What did she say about your playing?” I asked. “Said I must play at the next leap year dance—l9oo is not a leap year, you know—would give me eight years to practice. ” “Did you promise?” “I promised not to; told her I had something better to work for now.” Rime Jenks is a rather taciturn fellow, and I am not in his confidence, but I know that be goes pretty often to Richmond’s Hill, and he has traded his fiddle for a cow. I have also noticed him studying a book entitled “Comfortable Cottages For S6OO.” —G. B. Dunham in San Francisco Argonaut.
